THURSDAY NOV. 7

SONG OF THE DODO[THEATER] Portland Experimental Theatre Ensemble’s adaptation of Richard III
was one of last season’s most arresting shows. PETE’s next work is a
collaboratively devised piece of dance, theater and song. A short video
features company members tiptoeing around in frilly white dresses—and
another of them squatting and squawking wildly. Expect a unique sight. Studio 2, 810 SE Belmont St., petensemble.org. 7:30 pm. $12-$40.

BEER AND SAUSAGE DINNER[FOOD] You ever realize when you eat
sausage you’re putting intestines in your stomach? Just saying. Anyway,
gas up at the Bent Brick on a major cold-plus-hot mess of beer and
sausage, with five beers from beer-a-week-forever marathon brewers
Breakside Brewery, including its new sour framboise. The Bent Brick, 1639 NW Marshall St., 688-1655. 6:30 pm. $50. 21+.

FRIDAY, NOV. 8

TAVI GEVINSON[BOOKS] Gaining more fame at age 12 than most bloggers will ever have, Tavi Gevinson’s Style Rookie blog nabbed her a profile in The New York Times
and invitations to fashion weeks across the globe. After shifting her
focus to feminist discussions of pop culture, she founded the online Rookie Magazine, like a Jezebel for teens that grown-ups love too. Q Center, 4115 N Mississippi Ave., 234-7837. 7 pm. Free.

THE ERIC ANDRE SHOW LIVE[COMEDY] The Eric Andre Show is
one of the strangest damn things on Adult Swim—and that’s saying
something. A Bizarro World take on the no-budget public-access talk
show, it features Florida-born comic Andre stumbling through sketches
and interviews with celebrities both real and terribly faked, with
little mind paid to continuity, logic or traditional notions of humor. Star Theater, 13 NW 6th Ave., 248-4700. 9 pm. $12. 21+.

SATURDAY, NOV. 9

WESLEY STACE[MUSIC] John Wesley Harding, the brainy
British expat singer-songwriter, has just pulled what’s known as “the
full Mellencamp,” dropping his entire Dylan-cribbed nom de plume in one
fell swoop. It’s a fitting change, given that his new record drops
pretense as well, offering nakedly personal songs of a sort he has not
attempted before. Mississippi Studios, 3939 N Mississippi Ave., 288-3895. 7:30 pm. $17 advance, $20 day of show. 21+.
